Evan Phillips is a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In 2026 he struck out 30 batters over 24.0 innings across 29 appearances, going 2-2. His ERA of 3.38 is 19.2% lower than the league average of 4.18 — 9th of 18 on his team, and 150th of 538 among MLB pitchers with 20+ innings. Stripping out defence, his 4.19 FIP suggests that his ERA had some help behind him. He missed bats on 25.3% of swings (12.2% of every pitch he threw), walked 6.1% of the batters he faced and struck out 30.3%. His 0.1 dbWAR is built from that FIP rather than runs allowed, so it credits him for what he controls and not for the defence behind him.

How these are computed

wOBA uses linear weights measured from this season's own play-by-play rather than published constants, and wRC+ is park-adjusted against that same league. dbWAR is our own open implementation — not fWAR or bWAR — and the full derivation, including its simplifications, is on the methodology page.
